Is Yours a YES or a No?

December 28, 2017 by Erin Cochran

This is the time of year when we start thinking of all the things in our lives that we wish were just a little–or maybe a whole lot–different. 

A new year, a new start? 

I have friends that have a wonderful tradition of picking a “word of the year,” a single word that encapsulates all that they hope 2018 will be for them–an ideal to work towards, a touchstone to bring them back to what matters, a mantra to focus on when they feel they are getting off track. 

I know others who are focusing on changing just one behavior. As it is said, change just one thing, and see all of the amazing results that can come from that one simple shift… 

But what about your house? How does this environment that we spend so much of our time in contribute to your vision for the new year and beyond? In reality, it can either hold us back or help push us forward, each day it can either encourage or discourage us in the things we want to do and long to create. 

When you picture your home in your mind’s eye, do you have the gut feeling of “YES!”–

Or maybe do you get a weak, milk toast feeling of “no”…?

If you have ever been to one of my workshops, you know that I often start the class with a guided meditation of sorts where we picture one of your life’s “best places,” a place where you felt the most like yourself when you were a kid or young adult.

You should see the serene smiles on people’s faces when they revisit these beautiful locations in their mind. This is what a YES looks like. 

If you know that you want to make a change in 2018, and want your home to be a part of creating that meaningful shift–if you want that YES— I have just the thing for you! Here is a special tool to get you off on the right foot as we turn the page on the calendar. 

Happy New Year, Friends!! I hope 2018 is full of many, many YESes for you!!

Because home is important—but creating the feeling Because home is important—but creating the feeling of home can sometimes feel elusive or difficult to achieve … 🏡

so that they can be spaces that make your heart lift, encourage togetherness and support the way you’ve always wanted to live within your four walls.♥️

Our clients had been mentioning that their primary Our clients had been mentioning that their primary bedroom was next on the list—ever since we finished their kitchen a few years ago. 😊

We know that they have a love for black & white, and deep, moody interiors—so we were excited when we found this amazingly dramatic mural for the feature wall in their space. 

Once that was in, the other elements fell into place to create this lovely space—the perfect place to cozy up this fall… & every other season. ☺️
